ACTIVITY 4 – THE GLOBAL TEACHER OF THE 21ST CENTURY

Overview
Teaching is a respectable profession the world over. The status of teachers has been
comparable is all parts of the globe, hence each year, a celebration of the WORLD
TEACHER’S DAY!
This alone would tell us, the recognition and honor given to the best profession of all:
TEACHING. A teacher is an extraordinary person in whose hands lie the future of the
world. A teacher regardless of what country he or she comes from should be a
GLOBAL TEACHER or the TEACHER of the WORLD.
Thus, you should have qualities, skills, knowledge, views, with wider breadth and
deeper sense because you too will be a global teacher.
Objectives:
1. Identify competencies of the global teacher.
2. Increase knowledge of other countries teacher’s competencies.

world.

Learning Essentials
Let us begin with ourselves, the Filipino teachers. Why are we Filipino
teachers doing very well in classrooms and schools outside our country? Are non-
Filipino teachers doing well in our country as well? Many of them are awarded as
exemplar teachers, best teachers, and model teachers. They are honored by the
school, parents and community as well. Would you like to be a global teacher of the 21 st
century? As global teachers, you should be the excellent ones.
A GLOBAL TEACHER
 thinks and acts both locally and globally
 has classroom management skills
 makes content relevant and updated
 has skills in critical thinking
 uses technology in education
 has deep understanding of multiculturalism and globalization
 has skills to collaborate with teams
 brings the world into the classroom, school and community
 continuously grow professionally
 A Filipino teacher should have these qualities and skills, too. These
competencies are enshrined in the National Competency-based Teacher Standards
(NCBTS) of the Philippines.
The tasks:
1. Request for a short interview with a public school teacher.
2. Request the teacher to answer a short questionnaire on the NCBTS
teacher’s competencies.

Domain 1-Social Regard / Social has a great factor with regards to
for Learning learning it will develop skills such as my
communication skills and interpersonal
skills it also helps boost emotional aspect

Domain 2-Learning / Learning Environment is one that

Environment contributes learning to a child. This stands
as the learning ground where a child would
acquire learning experiences. For me,
more conducive learning environment is
will result into much better learning
outcomes.

Domain 3-Diversity of / This domain really became a great

Learners challenge for a teacher like me in terms of
being flexible in delivering a lesson
because of the diverse culture, beliefs and
tradition that children have from their own
community. To make things effective plan
something for a lesson that will suit into
their needs and differences
Domain 4-Curriculum / It is the totality of the learning experiences
that a student might receive within the
period of time of a subject, within the whole
day, whole week, whole month and even
the whole school year. Simple it is the
content of learning experiences that a
teacher will transmit into the student.

Domain 5-Planning, / It is a systematic domain, well I mean you

Assessing and Reporting will think and create a plan and then you
will just implement it. Afterwards you will
make an assessment to gather data and
come up to an evaluation. And then there
goes the reporting of either effectiveness or
un-effectiveness of the implemented plan.

Domain 6-Community / This factor or domain serves as supporter,

Linkages the branch of a learning community these
will help foster learnings to everyone and
empower the strong connections between
stakeholders.

Domain 7-Personal Growth / This tells more on the personal and

and Professional professional ideals and goals of a teacher.
Development But for me a teacher must continue
educating himself/herself not pointing into a
daily class but to study a higher intellectual
stuffs, course, research, seminars and
practices of how to become effective and
great in his/her profession.
